 In the regeneration scene in "Parting of the Ways", Tennant played the 
 Doctor's tenth incarnation with an English Home Counties / Thames 
 Estuary accent. Therefore it seems unlikely that his Scots heritage 
 will play any major role in the character. 
  
 The entirety of his spoken part was [IIRC] "Hello. Hmm, new teeth, 
 that's weird. Now, where were we? That's right- Barcelona!". 
  
 "Barcelona" is pronounced very differently in an southern English 
 accent than in a Scottish accent. It was very noticable that he wasn't 
 playing it in his native Scots.
